Bottle as an extra in a trade. Pours an orange body with foamy white top. Aroma flavor is yeasty and pepper, some light fruit and appricots, some toasted malt. Drinkable but not abv really.

Bottle from bleeng, shared at the October Houston tasting. Thanks&#033;<br />Pours ice tea brown with an aroma of malty wheat bread. Flavor is Chex cereal and grain. Average mouthfeel. Not bad, but not especially good.

bottle thanks to bleeng at October Houston Tasting. Pours a cloudy orange-amber with a thin white head. Nose is sweet and hoppy with some pepper. Taste is sweet malt and some spice. Mouthfeel is thin and watery. Unimpressive.

Nice lasting head with some lace. Pours hazy and orange. Smells somewhat hoppy, but not too much. Taste is balanced between hops and a nice mild backdrop of malts. Has some spice and some fruit undertones. Not boring at all, but not particularly outstanding either.

From the Benedictine monastery in Pecos, made with care and prayer&#033; A nicely hopped pale ale or light IPA. Pours orange, with a pleasant flavor of peppers and apricots. Nice, decent, but not great. I would bring some back next trip to NM though.

On Tap at Two Fools in Nob Hill Albuquerque. A deep dark belgian ale with a minimal head. It was heavily malty and quite belgian in look, feel and taste. Wasn’t overly impressed by it however.
